Small Ensemble Percussion - Level 4 - Digital Download
SKU: A0.799442
Composed by Drake Mabry. 20th Century,Contemporary. Score and parts. 19 pages. Drake Mabry #519751. Published by Drake Mabry (A0.799442).Commissioned by the Theatre Athenor, Drummissimo is a work for four percussionists in two movements. The instruments used are those found in the usual drumset but here divided among four players thus requiring an extremely high level of co-ordination. The first movement is loosely synchronized and functions as a prelude for the second completely synchronized movement. Each percussionist plays short fragments previewing the more developed rhythmic cells to be found later. The second movement begins very sparsely eventually filling up to become a complete drumset rhythmic pattern. The players then gradually change to playing quietly with fingers or thimbles after which they take snare sticks (unnoticed) leading to an explosive and complex rhythmic pattern. From here to the end the rhythmic cells become shorter and shorter until they are reduced to just three sixteenth notes. A brief silence is followed by an explosive final cadence. If necessary, the four players may be grouped near each other to help in coordinating the four parts but the ideal performance setup, and that used by the Ensemble Rhizone, placed the four players far apart on the stage. The duration is 12'.
Drumissimo was premiered by the Ensemble Rhizome at the Theatre Athenor in Nantes, France on May 23, 2002.
